Mike williams looked fine on the real rob report, i dont think the injury is whats bothering him anymore, but who knows.

Yea, but this just came from Rotoworld on May 30th:

Quote:

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll conceded that "it's going to be awhile" before Big Mike Williams (fractured ankle, fibula) gets back on the field.

"Heís not ready yet to be on a practice field," Carroll said. "He has not had a chance to work with us at all. ... He had a significant leg injury. They are not ready to release him yet. He can run straight ahead, but he canít change direction, so it is going to be awhile." Due $3.25 million, Williams' roster spot may hang in the balance. At best, he looks like a PUP candidate to open the season.

How can you NOT want this kid to end up a seahawk? Or Succeed in the NFL? Or life? I really hopes he makes the team

Ya, I'd love to see him make the squad, but after such a long time away I'm real skeptical about what he can really bring to the table. It's an amazing story and I wish him the best. I would love to find out that the woman involved in this gets a lengthy prison sentence (either a life sentence or at least serves the same amount of time that Banks served) and pays restitution on the 1+ mil she got out of a lawsuit and has to register as a sex offender just like he did when he got out. That would be just as happy an ending as seeing him make the squad for me._________________Consistent application beats complex programming.

That would be nice, but I believe I read somewhere that Banks has decided to drop the entire thing and not charge her. He just wants to live his life.

Says he's been working out every day for this opportunity and I think he could definitely make the practice squad so we could keep developing him._________________ '

If Bradford can make the squad.....so can this guy IMO_________________

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says the team intends to give Brian Banks a serious look -- and potentially an invite to minicamp -- during his tryout on Thursday.

ESPNLA On-Air

Brian Banks, former standout linebacker at Long Beach Poly, joins the Kamenetzky Brothers, telling his nightmarish story of a false rape accusation that sent him to prison in 2002, ending a promising football career.

Carroll released a statement through the team Wednesday saying that Banks deserves a "second chance at his dream."

Banks was a one-time high school star at Long Beach Poly who was recently exonerated in a California rape case in which he was falsely accused.

Banks' tryout was scheduled during one of Seattle's OTA workouts, but the OTA was taken away by the league because Seattle had violated terms of the collective bargaining agreement banning live contact.

But Banks' tryout will still take place. The tryout will not be open to media.

Carroll says he's talked to Banks a couple of times this week and says he's excited about the opportunity. Carroll says if Banks does well, the Seahawks will invite him to next week's minicamp.
